  2. Units of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    Historically, a byte was the number of bits used to encode a character of text in the computer, which depended on computer hardware architecture, but today it almost always means eight bits – that is, an octet. An 8-bit byte can represent 256 (2 8) distinct values, such as non-negative integers from 0 to 255, or signed integers from −128 to ...

  3. Byte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte

    The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer [1] [2] and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.

  5. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or how much storage space it is allocated. Typically, file size is expressed in units based on byte. A large value is often expressed with a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte). [1]

  6. 15-bit high color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_color

    In 15-bit high color, one of the bits of the two bytes is ignored or set aside for an alpha channel, and the remaining 15 bits are split between the red, green, and blue components of the final color. Each of the RGB components has 5 bits associated, giving 2⁵ = 32 intensities of each component. This allows 32768 possible colors for each pixel.

  7. Bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit

    A bit can be stored by a digital device or other physical system that exists in either of two possible distinct states.These may be the two stable states of a flip-flop, two positions of an electrical switch, two distinct voltage or current levels allowed by a circuit, two distinct levels of light intensity, two directions of magnetization or polarization, the orientation of reversible double ...

  8. JPEG File Interchange Format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format

    The bytes s1 and s2 are taken together to represent a big-endian 16-bit integer specifying the length of the following "data bytes" plus the 2 bytes used to represent the length. In other words, s1 and s2 specify the number of the following data bytes as 256 ⋅ s 1 + s 2 − 2 {\displaystyle 256\cdot s1+s2-2} .

  9. Bitmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmap

    In some contexts, the term bitmap implies one bit per pixel, whereas pixmap is used for images with multiple bits per pixel. [3] [4] A bitmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning just a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of ...
